Nor does that provision ol the Constitution of
the United States which declares that no. State
shall grant letters of marque and r/prixa! interfere
••villi the light of the State to redress her own
wrongs or those of her citizens, as against her sis
ter States of the Union, by reprisal, where she has
no other remedy. The laws of nations recognise a
dear distinction between reprisals tuade by a sov
ereign State, and letters of rnurque a/rj reprisal
by a sovereign State to an individual, or individu
al), Authorizing them to redress tboir o vu wrongs.
The latter E prohibited by the Constitution, but
contains no inhibition against the lorinef.
Georgia has it, therefore, iu her power to compel
M or any other northern State to do
justice to her citizens and in thus way to force
her to repeal her obnoxious and yli'onsive legisla
tion on the subject of slavery, or to suffer the
penalties due to her violation of good faith, and of
that comity which should ever exist between all
civilixed States. 1 therefore earnestly recommend
her representatives, by prompt legisaltion, to re
move from her escutcheon every stain of inequali
ty by which it is now tarnished. Let us meet un
just aggression and unconstitutional State legisla
tion, with just retalliatiou. To this end, I recom
mend the enactment of a law authorizing the Gov
ernor of this State, in case any citizen of this State
shall in future be deprived of his elave or other
property, under the operation of the aggressive leg
islation of Massachusetts, to which I have referred
or of like legislation of any other State, or by the
neglect of any such State to fulfil her Constitution
al obligations to Georgia, or her citizens, by deliv
ering up to the owner, on demaud his slave which
tnav have escaped into Such State, to call out such
military force as he may deem necessary for the
purpose and to seize such amount of the money or
property of auv cititen of such offending and faith
less State which may be found within the limits of
this State, as may he amply sufficient full) to in
demnify uch citizen of this State who may have
been robbed of his propertv t,y the failure of such
faithless State to discharge its Constitutional obli
gations ; and forthwith to notift the Governor of
such State of the seizure ; and in case the Governor
of such State shall fail, within thirty days from the
time he receives such notice, to cause the proper
ty of our own citizens to be returned to him, or
its full value paid to him, that it shall then be the
duty of the Governor of this State to deliver such
quantity ot the property so seized to the injured
citizen of thi3 state, as may bo sufficient fully to
indemnify him agaiust all damages sustained by
him.
Believing, furthermore, that ourself respect as a
peopls should prompt us to witndraw from each of
the Northern States of this Union, which, by its
legislation, has refused to abide by its Constitution
al obligations to us, all profits and advantages of
our trade, I further recommend the enactment of
such law* as will drive the manufactured aaticlcs of
such States, as far as possible, from the markets of
Georgia. It Georgia and all the other southern
States would, by proper leuialstioi., or. this
Patter, M.avsacTrns/'ffs ana each Northern State,
which bv its legislation, has shown itself faithless
to its obligations under the Constitution, would
have to <e markets elsewhere ; and if they should
he compelled to send the products of their facto
ries out of the Union for sale, they would be de
prived of (lie vast, profits the now obtain in the Un
ion, on account of the advantages our r trilf laws
afford them, in our own market*, over ill imported
goods which pay tariff duties.
It may be denied that we have any Uun.siL'ulion
al right to pass laws in Georgia prohibiting the in
troduction of Massachusetts goods into Georgia.—
It is not necessary for tnr purpose that 1 contro
vert this proposition by showing that the Constitu
tional obligations of Georgia to M assachusetts cease
whenever Massachusetts refuses to be bound by
her Constitutional obligations to Georgia : or in
other words that Massachusetts ceases, ti> s be longer
entitled to the benefits of the Union, when she re
fuses longer to submit to its burdens. It is suffi
cient to say, that without the violation of any pro
vision of the Constitution of the United States
Georg T a lias complete control of this matter, in the
Constitutional exercise of her sovereign power of
taxation. While Georgia has no right, as agaiust
any State of the Union wlih-h acknowledges and ob
serves its Constitutional obligations to her, to pass
any law prohibiting the importation of its goods
into her territory, she has the undoubted right, Jso
soon as the goods of one slate are commingled
with, and become the property of her own citizens,
to tax them as site, iu her sovereign capacity, may
deem proper. .She also h.o-s the tight to discrimi
nate between different articlts or kinds of proper
ty, as she may deem proper. This right she has
exercised from the earliest period of her history.
She lias at all times, in the assessment of taxes, dis
criminated between different kinds of property,
and taxed one kind higher than another ; waile she
lias always exempted some kinds of property en
tirely from the bur Jens of taxation. Prior to the
act of 1K52, she taxed city and town property, and
merchandise, higher than she did land and negroes.
While horses, cattle, hogs, household furniture, and
many other articles were not taxed at all. Even
now she taxes bank capital, foreigu insurance com
panies, lotteries, &0., higher than she does other
property ; and uo Lax is imposed upon libraries,
household furniture under the value of three hun
dred dollars, Ac., Ac. I apprehend, therefore, that
uo one will venture at this time, to question her
right to discriminate as she may deem proper, iu
the assessment of her taxes.
Whether she will discriminate between goods
manufactured i:i other States, so as to give her
friends an advantage over her cuetuies, Is a mere
question of policy. Feeling that she should do this
and believing that she has it in her power by the
adoption of this course, iu a great measure to drive
the goods of her enemies out of her territory, I
earnestly recommend the enac >nent of auch law s
as will accomplish the object. To ihis end, I would
suggest, the passage of an .aet, to take effect on thoj
first day of January uext, but not to operate upon
any goods, wares, or merchandise purchased before
that time, (so that our merchants may be torwarn
ed of its existence before they incur any liability
ou account of its violation) which shall require every
every tax payer iu this State to . wear, iu addition to
the oath now prescribed, whether he has, during
the vear for which he isgiviug in his tax, been the
vender of uity goods, wa es, or merchandise of
any description. Should be answer this question
in the affirmative, then to be further required to
state oil oath, to the best of his knowledge and be
lief, th -3 aggregate value of all goods, wares aud
merchandise, of any character, sold by him, dur
ing said period, which were manufactured ia, or
brought into this State from Massachusetts, Ver
n ont, Michigan, Maine, Rhode Island, C'onnecticutt
New York, and Wisconsin. I believe these are the
►States w hich have most palpably violated the Cou
btitution by their legislation and their otioa though
i.ht legislation !’ home others is, by no means jus
tifiable, and raav become the subject of future ac
tion, ou our part: and he should be required to
pu\ in addition to his tax on other property, a tax
of t venty-fivc per cert’ upon the amount ot such
goods, wares, and otercliant.iisc, so sold by him.
The effect of this law would bv, to discriminate iu
favor of the manufactured arti le of otne other
northern State?, whose legislation, though not by
any means free from oonsnre, is not altogether a
offensive to us as that of the States above mention
tioned ; and in favor, also, of good* manufactur
ed abroad, and which were not imported through
the faithless States above uamed. 1 think it beat
that we select for the present only auch States as
arc most in the wrong, till we have shown all the
effect of the legislation. Should others then refuse
to repeal their offensive lcgisl lion, the statute can
easily and justly be extended to them. Were such
a law of loree in Georgia, our merchants in the
market wcu’d refuse to purchese the good* upon
which they would have to pay the extra tax ; and
in their stead, would buy such as are not subject to
iL
If each Southern State will enact a law similiar
to the one above recommended, the effect will be,
in a high degree, it jnrious to the manufacturing
interests of the above named States. So soon as
the manufacturers in those States, see that they
are deprived of the benefit, of the southern trade,
and that they cannot enjoy it on equal term*, with
their neighbors iu othpr / ■•’ ‘ a >n
terost will dictate to > > ol u ng
and requiring their op t ose i er
j their control, to unite, at the ballou-uox, wtUt Vhe
; large clads of law-abiding, conservative, Coustitu
: tional men, in their respective States, who have cv
jer been ready to do us justice, and abide, in good
j faith, by all their Constitutional obligations. The
accumulation of strength which the Constitutional
men in those States would in this way gain it is be
lieved, would place them in the majority ; and en
able them to hurl from place and power, the abo
lition leaders who have so long controlled, and bv
their councils, disgraeed their respective States.
In the enactment of such a law, the power should
be given to the Governor of this State, to suspend
by proclamation, the operation of the act, as a
giiustsaid states, whenever lie may be officially iti
toruied, that Fuel) £>Utc has repealed its unoonsii
rational and offensive legislation, aud has returned
lo the observance ot its Constitutional obiigatioas
or to embrace iu the disability, by prociauratiou,
auy other Statu enacting similiar laws.
it may bo said that this tax lax, if passed, would
be frequently evaded, and that goods made iu Mas
sachuscns, would often be labelled, and pass in the
market as goods made iu New Jersey. This would
doubtless be so in some eases; as the manufactu
rer, who would vote for a law to fasten upou his
State, the shame of a violation of her plighted
faith, would be guilty of any other bad fait!;; bu;
tt would not be possible for the manufacturers in
those Stales to make the fraud a general one ; as
it would be the interest of the manufacturers,and im
porters of New Jersey, and such other Btates us
might have the advantage in Southern trade, unde;
the law, to expose, as much as possible, the frauds
attempted to be practiced by the manufacturer
or importer of Massachusetts, or those of other
States discriminated against. It would, therefore,
seldom be u difficult task, for the Georgia merchant
to form a correct cone usion as to the character o:
the goods purchased by him ; and as the law would
require him to swear to the beat of his knowledge
and belief, be would not likely be wanting iu vigi
lance; but would require such evidence, iu making
his purchases, as would satisfy his mind that the
goods purchased were not subject to the tax. The
fact that the law might sometimes be evaded, is uo
sufficient reason why it should not be enacted.—
Ilow often are the revenue laws of the United
States, aud ocher governments, violated or evaded;
aud yet what civilised nation for that reason would
do without ilietn 't Even lire laws against murder,
and all the other felonies know n to our penal code,
i arc often evaded; but who would say that they
should uot, on that account, have been enacted. —
They are often enacted ; and they stand upon our
statute book us a terror to evil doers, so would a
law of the character proposed be in a great degree
effective ; and would place the merchandise of those
States under the ban of Southern proscription, and
compel mein lo resort to fraudulent contrivances,
before tney could introduce it among us. This
would vindicate our honor and punish their perfidy.
It would compel them, as long as they remained
faithless to the compact, to lose our trade, or pay
a large portion ot our taxes; as the merchant
having to pay twenty-live per cent, tax upon Mas
sachusetts or New York goods, would not buy them
unless lie could purchase them twenty-live per cent,
cheaper than he could get the goods of some other
State uot subject to tax.
Thus far I have recommended the mildest mea
sures, which, in my judgment, will redress our
wrongs, and cause the repeal of the offensive and
unjust legislation above referred to.
Should the enactments herein suggested be
deemed insufficient to the accomplishment of the
object, I w>uDJ then rrcommcmJ, an an nd(ii(itna)
remedy, that the penal code, and all otber laws ol
this State which protect the lives, liberties, and
property a>( the citizens of other nates while in
this State, be repealed, so far as they now protect
the citizens of eaclt free State in this Union, which
bus upon its statute book any aet or acts of the
character, and iutended to accomplish the object
of the Massachusetts legislation to which I have
directed your attention; aud that the citizens of
Massachusetts, and of each tree State in this Union,
guilty of like bad faith to the people of Georgia,
be declared without the protection of the laws of
tbi* Stale, until the States to which they respec
tively belong shall have repealed their unconslitu
tional and obnoxious legislation, and return to the
observance of the Constitutional pledges. Iu re
sorting to this severe though just measure of retalia
tiou, we should act only on the defensive. It would
therefore be necessary to make it the duty of the
Governor of this State to suspend, by proclama
tion, the rep mating act above recommeued, and to
rest re the citizens of each offending titata to the
protection of the laws of this State, so soon as he
shali be officially informed by .the Governor of
such State that the laws of such State, of the
character above mentioned, which now rob the
citizens of this State of their property, or imprison
them for attemping to reclaim it, have been re
pealed by such oftendiDg State. This would be a
measure of defensive retaliation, and not of ag
gression, on the part of Georgia.
In addition to the influence which (his enact
ment would have in causing the repeal of those
unconstitutional and offensive laws, it would have
tho lurther effect of riddiug our State, in the
meantime, in a summary way, of such Abolition
emissaries as are now passing among our people ;
who, under the pretence ot bookselling, peddling,
lecturing, preaching, Ac., are scattering inflam
matory documents amonf* us, aud attempting to
incite our slaves to revolt, and to murder our wo
men and children ; and are applying, under cover
ol me darkuess of night., the lucendiart’s torch to
our gin houses, dwelling houses, villages, aud
towns.
No one can deny the power of our State to enact
such penal code, and to make such exceptions
thereto, as iu the judgment of our people may be
ueces?ary to their safety and protection ; or to
repeal her preseut penal code, or auy part thereof,
w hen such repeal may be uecessary to the pros-1
perity of her own citizens, or to a just retaliation}
upon her euemies. Nor can any other govern-i
ment or power ou earth, compel her to punish auy
act as a crime, which site does not choose to con
sider as a crime against her peace aud dignity as a
sovereign Stale. If, therefore, she should refuse
to declare criminal, or to permit her courts to j
punish us a crime, any injury done to a citizen of
M.tssachu.-e t?, till she shall have repealed her
laws passed lor the purpose of robbing the people
of Georgia of their property which she has
pledged tier taith to deliver to them ou demaud, j
neither the Federal Government, nor auy State
government, has a right to interfere, or to dictate
to her wh it shall be me provision of her penal
code. While Georgia is a sovereign Sstute, she will
dictate her own peual Lws, and determine for
herself what she will punish as a crime against
her peace and dignity, aud what she will omit to
puuistt.
It may bw objected that such an enactment
would denj to the citizens of Massachusetts, or
other States w hose citizens may be deprived of the
protection of our laws, the enjoyineut of “all
privileges and immunities of citizeus of the seve
ral States. ’ Should this be the case, the fault
would not be ours. We were not the aggressors.
The laws of those Suites were first enacted, and
were intended to deprive our citizens uot only of
those “privileges and immunities” under the Con
stitution, but of their rights of property, and of
their libel ties as freemen. Massachusetts, as above
shown, even denies the use of her prison for the
punishment of hint who is covicted of having for
eiblv taken from a citizen of Georgia his propertv,
in open violation of the Constitution of the l nited
States, and the laws of Congress. Who, then,
will deny our right to remove from our statute
book such laws as protect her citizens, tilt she
repeals her statutes enacted for the purpose of deny
ing the protection of her laws to us f When she
repeals her unconstitutional and unlriendlv laws
against us, we should again extend to her citizens
the protection of our laws. Until she does this,
we should retaliate upon the robber, by refusing
to protect him while he is plundering us, or to
punish those who slay him while he is applying the
torch to our dwellings.
In my opinion, the time for bold, deciJed action,
has arrived ; and he is unworthy the confidence of
the people ol Georgia who will refuse to vindicate
her honor, at any cost, aud to maintai i her Con
stitutional rights at any hazard.
It is believed the legislation above recommen
ded would tend to strengthen, rather than weaken,
the ties of union between the States gem rally;
as it would do much to destroy the sectional
character of the controversy, now pending be
tween the free and the slave States ; and to nar
row the issue to a contest between ind vidual
States, and not between whole sections of the Un
ion. The acknowledgment of the fact that, one
State has power to protect herself, against the
unconstitutional and aggressive legislation of anoth
-r, without the aid of the other sister States, and
without disturbing her relations with

vorsy between individual States, but makes each
State pay a more just regard to the rights of every

look for protection in the wrong, from her other

So soon as the Government shill ave pv ?
into black lit publican bands, a ponton oi o
citizens must, if possible, be bribed into treacher
to their own section, by the allurements oi office ;
or a hungry swarm of Abolition emissaries must
bo imported among us as office-holders, to eat
out our substance, insult us, witii their arrogoHoe,
corrupt our slaves, and engender discontent
among them ; while they Hood the country with
inflammatory Abolition documents and do nil i:i
their power to create in the South aj state of
things which must ultimately terminate in a war
of extermination between the white and black
races.
Whether eight millions of freemen in the South
ern Slates wiil consent to permit this state of
things to exist among them, and w ill bow the neck
iu willing subjection to the yoke, ia a question to
be determined by them in their sovereign capaci
ty.
Whetber the sovereign will of the people <■
Southern States, shall in this crisis, be ascertain !
by a general conventiou of all the States ; Lorca:
ter to be called, and all shall act together in con
cert, or whether each State shall decide for herself
w ithout conference with the others, are questions
upon which a diversity of opinion may exist.
I entertain no doubt of the right of each State
to decide and act for herself. The Union is a
compact between the sovereign States of which it,
is composed. Each State in the Union is in point
of sovereignty the equal of every other; and nei
ther is dependent upon another for any of the at
tributes of sovereignty. So long as all the States
abide in good faith by their Constitutional engage
ments to each other, and the compact is Dot vio
lated, no State can withdraw from the Union
without being guilty of bad faith to the others.—
If, however, the compact is violated by the refu
sal of part of the contracting parties to ttbide by
it, aud submit to its burdens, while they receive
the benefits arising from it, the other parties are
no longer bound by it, but may declare it a nullity,
and refuse to abide by it on their part. It is an
csseutial part of the law of contracts, that both
patties are bound, or neither is bound, and it
one violates the contract, the other is no longer
bound.
Hut I may be ashed who is to judr of r - ~>-
lat ion ol the contract f I answer th.it end sera
eigu State, from the very nature of tbc c*e, *• ‘
judge and decide lor herself. There is no e • rnou
arbiter between tliem. Each being sovrr. ign, ac
knowledges no higher power on earth. The fed
eral Government is bat the limited agent of all the
Slates, and has no right to assume to dictate to
the principals from which it derives all the power
it possesses, nor to sit in judgment upon the con
duct of the creator, whose creature it i?, and by
whose consent *]om it exists for a Single day. It
is not to be presumed tnat a State will secede
from the Union wituwut a just cause. Os the suili
cieuey of the cau?e each sovereign State must
judge ior herself. Wnen her decision is made, no
one lias a tight to reverse the judgment, because
no higher power exis.* it. wiium an appeal can ba
taken. The light o St peaceably to secede
from the Union, wn ,1 t judgm 01 It r peo

violated, can only be dented by luo;-. ho deny
the sovereignty if the States.
I am aware ton- some have ati • muted to sualb®

Uuiou to ci .odc from it, even lor just cause, to the
right ut the Cuiuuice, to eCcedo trout !ill’ I>f>* isti
Government; and as the colonies possessed ob’y
the light ot revolution, it is argued that the sov
ereign States of the Union possess no other right.
There ia no just analogy between the n s.—
The colonies, prior to the revolut■*• ■- vf
sovereign. They were subjects of the British
Government, created by it, and belonged to >
They bad never ovcu claimed to be the eqtfei- of
the British crown, nor had that Government r
recognised them as such, or formed any coin’ *
with tos.ni as sovereign powers. V- heu, thereto e,
they withdrew from the Government of Great
Britain, it was a cam of rebellion on the part of
the subject, against tbc power of the sovereign—
in other words, it was revolution —and upon their
success depended their exemption from the penal
ities of treason, to the Government whose subjects
(not equals) they were, t ; ll they had established
their light of sovereignty by force of arms. But
the Stales of the Uuiou are not the subjects of
the Federal Gavennucut; were not created by it ;
and do not belong to it. They created it; from
them it derive its powers; to them it id responsi
ble, and when it abuses the trust they reposed in
il, they, as equal sovereigns, have aright to re
sume the powers respectively delegated t.o it by
them. Upon my mind there is uo doubt that Geor
gia or any other State iu the Uuiod. has a perfirev
right to secede from iii whenever tue people i>
their sovereign capacity decide tor th. niseive
that the compact has been violated by the other
States. And neither the Federal nor a State Gov
ernment has any more right to make war on her,
ior the exercise ot this act ol sovereignty, t‘,au
tkev have to make war upon her for the exerci-o
of any other one of her sovereign powers.—
Should Georgia determine, while I exercise tho
Executive power, to secede from the Union on
account of the violation of compact by other
States, I should deny the right ot any other State
or Government to coereo her to return to it. In
such ca.-e the allegiance of her citizens would be
due to her alone, and each would be entitled to
the protection of her flag. Thin they .should hat e.
And if any other government should interfere,
and assume jurisdiction over them, and take
the lives ot’ any of them upon a charge of trea
son to its authority for following the flag of
Georgia, I would retaliate promptly, by seizing
and hanging upon the nearest tree, two of the sub
jects of such Government tor each citizen of Geor
gia whose life should thus be illegally taken. I
need only add that i regard the question of set a
rate State action, or of united action upon h f ; t
of all the Southern Stales, as a mere qji-u u. o
policy, aud not as a question 01 rmn • As t e
cause of the Southern States is eoa.m-.u c.-< >r ,

If the fifteen Southern States of the i nidn
